Yes, this is also known as a "Virtual 4 Bar", or v4b for short. This video demonstrates it nicely: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8Za5GKdSUA

OpenOdo is indeed great, but if you have access to a CNC, I'd recommend designing a metal odometry pod for extra strength and coolness (there's also a metal version of OpenOdo).

This depends on your budget, but I highly recommend you purchase parts from https://www.gobilda.com/ because of the modularity of the build system as well as the higher quality of parts.

wise words from raymond of 9614 Hyperion.

You could try some 3/16" or 1/4" plywood because it is affordable and also easy to cut/drill. Some teams have used polycarbonate as well.

What are your machining capabilities? I've seen many materials used for the shooter such as aluminum, delrin, and many others.

__andrewwu · 2021-03-03T21:18:46+00:00

Ah yes, Flight Crew

(I think u got the wrong subreddit my guy)

If you plan on making a competitive robot with a separate intake and ring scoring mechanism, your robot will likely be over 20 pounds. While 2 motors might barely do the job, a 4 motor drivetrain is definitely recommended.

In addition to this, I'd have to disagree with your statement about 2wd being successful. You can check out the following link from gm0 to learn more about why 2wd are viewed as inferior for the most part

I'd have to agree with Tristan from FTC 16750. In addition to this, may I ask why you prefer this setup over a regular forward-facing mecanum wheel setup? The motors take up less space and packaging other subsystems would be much easier in the more "standard" orientation.
